Hello-
While I was going to St. Ives I met a man with......... Did you finish the sentence in your head? If you didn’t then let’s try this one... Hickory Dickery Dock, the mouse ran........
It’s funny how limericks, rhymes, jingles and tag lines stay with us, regardless of how long it’s been since we have seen or heard them. A certain fast food chain who shall remain McNameless spent alot of time and money to insure that it would in fact always be a good time for the great taste of McName-with-held, and for the most part, I can only assume, it has served them well (and hopefully they in turn have served their customers well). Is there a flip side to all of this? YOU BETCHA! How many times have you gotten a direct mail piece indicating that you “MAY HAVE ALREADY WON XXXXXXX”? Here is an excellent example of many different people spending even more money and time separately to SABATOGE the chance of anyone else being able to use a prize giveaway. We call this “direct mail fatigue”, and everyone has it.
So, that’s the bad news.
Now for some good news. You can still use a prize promotion or giveaway offer effectively, you just have to be MORE creative then the last guy. If your advertising and marketing plans don’t stick out, than how are you going to? And who says you HAVE to use direct mail anyhow? Ever thought of hanging something right on your next customers door? Or how about serve a nice juicy succulent prize offer right on the dinner table? Imagine this conversation.....
“WOW... I’m starved and this smell delicious”
“Mmmmm... And does it ever taste good”
“Hey Look at this” (said with half a mouthful of delicious dinner) “Spend $300 at (insert your business here) and get a free (insert prize here)”
“We should check that out tomorrow”
Not bad hey?
Every week we go to the mailbox and see literally hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars wasted in direct mail advertising. It’s either poorly designed, mixed in with 40 other indirect competitors for the same dollars, and 7 of these are usually your direct competition!!! WOW, how did that happen?
